Instrument driver wizard missing

Hello,

 

I have a professional development license for Measurement Studio 2013 and am using Visual Studio 2012 Professional edition.

 

- Unfortunately, I can not see the instrument driver wizard (IVI driver). Can someone please help me to know if the above 2 programs are not compatible with each other. Before buying, I went throught MS2013 webpage and that gave me an impression that there sould be no issues.

 

- Secondly, I also read that creating wrapper around existing C driver is possible using Instrument driver wizard, but is it also possible to create an all new IVI-Driver?

 

Thank you.

Regards

Ricky

Thanks Fabian,

 

I read part of manual that says how to create a new instrument driver using Wizard by selecting

Start-->New Project-->Visual C Sharp--> Measurement Studio-->Instrument Driver

 

My question is why can't I see Instrument driver under Measurement Studio on my PC?

 

I only see

NI DAQ Windows Application

NI Windows Forms Application

NI WPF Application

NI Class Library

Hello,

 

Am I the only one here with this problem?

 

May be I am missig some packet which I should install in order to see Instrument Driverr Wizard under .NET project. Or the set of template is to be downloaded seprately from internet?

 

Sorry, if I am asking too much, but will really request someone from NI or their product user to reply.

 

Regards

Ricky

I wanted to resurrect this old post and chime in. 

 

With Visual Studio 2010, you can invoke the Instrument Driver Wizard by doing this:

 

* Use the Add New Item then in Visual C# Items, select the .NET Instrument Driver. A wizard comes up asking you where the fp file is located.
